Do you know any Hazel's??

I prefer DC's being the only one with their name in their classes (sorry to be one of them!Confused) it's just a personal preference.

I've really took a liking to the name Hazel but I've heard it numerous times in films, books etc. But I've never heard of one in real life.

So, do you know any? Do you think it's a fairly popular name? Do you like it/have any negative connotations? Grin

I'm a Hazel 🙋🏼 I was the only one in my class at school and there was only one other in my whole secondary. That being said, I'm in my twenties and it does seem a lot more common for little ones now. I do cringe a little with how popular it's getting, it's rather nice being a novelty 🤗

The only Hazel I know is 85 years old and hates her name.

Pigeonpost · 08/10/2018 23:46

I know three. One is 9, two in their 50's.

madeoficecream · 08/10/2018 23:44

yes I know one 30yo, one 50yo and an 11yo... but no younger children

MintyCedric · 08/10/2018 23:42

Three, none of them youngsters, but all of them utterly fabulous!

Waterstonian · 08/10/2018 20:01

I’ve only ever met one - she’ll be 19 now and was in dd1’s class at school.

UrsulaPandress · 08/10/2018 15:56

My mum was a Hazel - she'd be 91 now. Beautiful deep auburn hair that turned to a lovely coconut matting colour as she aged. And she was covered in freckles. Her name suited her perfectly

Dhalandchips · 08/10/2018 15:51

I know one, 23. Nickname Hazza (but only by me Grin) it's lovely

WindDoesNotBreakTheBendyTree · 08/10/2018 15:50

one in her 60s
a ten year old
a four year old

It's gorgeous but unlikely to ever reach Isabelle/Eleanor/Eva levels of saturation

daisyrosegem · 08/10/2018 15:47

My mums name!

2isabella2 · 07/10/2018 23:23

My daughter has a friend called Hazel and there is one other i am aware of at her primary school. I know one in her 70s too. It's a lovely name.

My daughter's year has one Chloe, Sophie, Lily, Harry and Jack - and two Rivers. I'd choose the name because you love it and not worry if anyone has the same name.

mostdays · 07/10/2018 23:01

I know a Hazel the same age as me (37) and one in her early 60s. Nice name.

Cattenberg · 07/10/2018 22:57

Yes, she's six. A bright, funny little girl.

I also met a teenage Hazel a few years ago. She must be in her early 20s now. I like the name. It's from nature and it's classic and unfussy but not too commonly used.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 07/10/2018 22:54

My cousins baby is called hazel. She is almost 2. It’s a gorgeous name.

Bouncingbelle · 07/10/2018 22:50

Its lovely. I know 2, both in their early 40s.

BigGapMum · 07/10/2018 22:43

Two elderly ladies and a five year old. Lovely name.

susurration · 07/10/2018 22:42

My lovely niece who is three.

brads88 · 07/10/2018 22:39

I'm a Hazel! I've met one or two others in my lifetime (I'm 30) but it isn't a popular name at all, although not so uncommon people don't know how to spell it. I've only met one toddler named Hazel too.

I liked the fact that there weren't multiple girls with my name at school/ growing up. The only person who I've met who doesn't seem to like it is my husband (he calls me "Haze")...!Confused

Cosmoa · 07/10/2018 22:35

Few elderly Hazel's.. That's it

littlegecko · 07/10/2018 22:24

I know a Hazel in her late thirties and one who is mid-fifties.

I rather like the name - it does remind me of Watership Down though !

Trinnidad · 07/10/2018 22:22

It used to be really popular in Scotland. I’ve known loads - I knew a Hazel whose best friend at school was called Holly. We used to call them the tree people, affectionately!

ribblerobble · 07/10/2018 07:23

I know three Hazels in very different generations and always thought it a lovely name - but it's one that pops up periodically enough to be unsure no other kid would have the same name.

BigGlasses · 06/10/2018 23:26

Oops, Is a great name ! Not isn’t. Why would I name dd it if it wasn’t a great name Hmm

BigGlasses · 06/10/2018 23:24

I know quite a few ( in Scotland). I think it isn’t a great name hence I chose it for dd
Dd, 10, lovely obviously
45 year old teacher, really really lovely
40 year, also a teacher, also lovely
55 year old tennis coach also lovely
I’m sure there is more but can’t think of them at the moment

yellowplumpreserves · 06/10/2018 21:14

All very nice Hazels, I should add.
